NEW YORK, Jsn. 6.—The Financier rays: In cash holdings and surplus reserves, despite the drain made upon them in the way of goid | exports. The Clearing-house institutions report at the end of the week just ended 3589,650 cash above the amount held at the opening of the year, the surplus reserve standing at $1.75 7. ' The expansion for the six days ending Saturday s of more than ordimary Interest, since it was made in the face of an increase of nearly $3,000,000 of deposits, which, of course, tied up about $2,250,000 in additional reser requirements. The gain in cash was $2,816,21 legal tenders, due to receipts from the in- terior. Loans are 34,107,600 higher. The annual dividend disbursements at this center have doubtiess affected the statement, and a detalled ysis shows that there have been some un- sually heavy changes in the totals of larger banks, but viewed in all lights the exhibit is to be considered very satisfactory. The in- terior movement In particular 18 assuming larger proportions than had been expected. | During January of last year the banks gained weekly something like #,000,000 in cash, the surplus reserve rising between the opening and the close of the month about $20,000,000. The Eain so far this vear has been proportionately heavy, but the exports of gold of course oper- | ate to keep the excess cash at a low figure. Still the banks are more than holding thetr own and are demonstrating an element of strength which must be looked upon as gratif; ing. Under the circumstances the outlook fa- ¥ors a rate for funds not materially different from that now prevailing. How long exports are to continue is an uncertain problem. but as conditions governing the outflow of gold are entirely favorable to the United States, both in inception and results accruing, the in. cident of exports s not viewed with any de. gree of apprehension. Present operatfons are in the nature of loans to Europe. If the re- turn statement is made In the form of an American security the United States has only | added to its wealth and canceled a certain percentage of yearly interest now remitted abroad.
